Review "A magnificent reunion of masters...........Arsenio's brother Raul records for the first time in 28 years. His playing is truly brilliant" -- Hector Resendez, Canto Ropical, KPFK "Listening to Late Night Sessions is like driving a car from one end of Cuba to another with the windows rolled down". -- Jory Farr, Press Enterprise "This is original and marvelous music. For me personally, it was wonderful to be with my favorite musicians some of whom I had never had the pleasure of playing." -- Jesus "Chucho" Valdes Product Description A joyous reunion of Cuba's best known musicians with their friends in the United States. Jesus "Chucho" Valdes, Bamboleo, Miguel Anga Diaz, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, and the 83 year-old Pio Leiva join with LA-based Jose Caridad "Perico" Hernandez (one of Cuba' s greatest musicians according to Chucho Valdes), Lazaro Galarraga, Carlos Del Puerto, Jr., Francisco Aguabella, and others. An added bonus is the presence of Raul Travieso Rodriguez, brother of the Cuban music legend, Arsenio Rodriguez. This is Raul's first recording since his brother's death in the early 1970's.
